MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious sites. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness, and the presence of a link farm heuristic further supports this. The document body itself is largely unreadable but contains references to the external URLs.
